BRUSSELS - A CREATIVE MARKETPLACE FOR THE FASHION INDUSTRY

The Brussels fashion scene is rigorously schooled and benefits from independent minds bringing in fresh influences to the mainstream. Belgium enjoys a long tradition in the textile industry, and has great technical expertise and heritage. Training for the fashion and design industries is strongly supported by a network of schools of international reputation for their non-conformist creativity and solid technical know-how.

The Belgian style is diverse and breaks away from traditional techniques. The Belgian touch is made up of freedom and absurdity, but also technical structure, sincerity and modesty.

Specifically, how are the fields of creation , distribution/ marketing and training related to fashion going to be impacted by this coming wave ?
How can we explore, learn and prepare for what is shaping to become the Metaverse in the making?
